His Devious Rule

Casper had assumed he was flawless in business and it was just Anya's way of troubling him during the tense situation.

Hence a lot of things ran through Casper's mind. He was thinking of complaining against Anya for instigating the department against him.

He dialed his secretary's department and soon found out that there was a large team at the reception who was closing the door of the large cooperation with the help of the cops. Employees were nervous watching them and Vice President Benjamin Matthews was panicked.

Casper guessed why Benjamin was panicking. He was fearing Alvin or Anya might have sent those people to arrest him for trying to kill Alvin.

At the courthouse,

Liam watched his father leave without entering the court. "Why did Dad leave?" He asked Secretary Harrison as they entered the court ignoring the cameras recording or capturing their pictures and shooting their questions nonstop.

Harrison was clueless as he alighted the car. So he glanced at the chief lawyer of the legal team who responded in a low voice.

"Anya Owen has attacked the company." The chief just summarized everything in a line.

There was sudden panic in his eyes. Matthews Industries might be large and have a strong foundation but the effect of a successful attack was also large.

If it was Alvin's attack, Matthews Industries would have lost a project or a subsidiary or worse billions worth of capital. Liam doesn't know Anya so he wasn't sure what was her plan

Apart from losing the capital, the after-effects of the attack might result in many employees losing their jobs, a deteriorating reputation will affect long-term business partnerships, clients would hesitate to work with them, and so on.

Liam calmed down as quickly as he got worried about the company. If not anything, he was sure Casper must have instigated and Anya was reacting to it.

He wondered if Alvin and Anya wouldn't trouble the company and the employees if he took complete charge of the company.

But how was he going to convince his father?

Liam glanced at his father's loyal and long-term subordinate, Secretary Harrison. Harrison was also agitated hearing the news. Liam asked, "Secretary Harrison..." He paused to let the lawyer reach his team and asked, "How to retire my father?"

Harrison was taken aback by Liam's question. Liam never liked to work in the company. Liam was only doing it because Gianna wanted him to lead the company so that Alvin doesn't snatch it away and Casper forced Laim to be a businessman.

Nevertheless, he was aware Liam was a softhearted man. Liam would feel bad for the employees if they suffer because of the fight between family members. Those troubles could only be ended if Casper falls silent and backs off.

Harrison promptly nodded, "Second Young Master and Second Young Madam will have to break Chairman's ego."

A man's ego is his existence. Hard to break it.

Harrison didn't say it because he was tired of working under Casper. This fight between son and father will affect each other and give better chances to the business rivals.

Liam fell silent hearing Harrison. Casper's ego is big. If Casper's ego is hurt, he would forget everything to satisfy his ego. He was afraid Alvin and Casper would end up hurting each other and the people around them.

His eyes fell on Gianna. The graceful lady who always carried herself elegantly looked sleep deprived, exhausted, and uncomfortable.

He rushed towards her but was stopped by the cops. When the captain noticed him, he nodded at his subordinate to allow Liam to meet his mother.

How angered he might be, Liam embraced his mother without hesitation. Gianna's eyes filled, she unknowingly expected Liam to get angry at her, never see her or talk to her. She sniffled, trying hard not to cry.

She didn't want to anger him but she couldn't help pleading, "Get me out of this, Liam... Get me out of all these."

Liam pursed his lips. He wanted to get her out of all these, convince her to let go of her hatred and live a peaceful life. But he has no way out legally.

There were still ten minutes for the session to start. So he made her sit on a bench and sat next to her. "Mom, I don't know what legal team is planned. Dad isn't allowing me to know anything. I know a way out of all these. Will you listen to me?"

Desperacy morphed into displeasure when Gianna heard Liam and discerned his words. How could she forget her son won't lie or create fake evidence to prove her innocence? He won't threaten or demand people to get her out of the situation.

She pulled her hand away from Liam's hold, protesting to apologize to Alvin or Anya, or Zane. She would rather die instead of humbling in front of those three.

Liam wasn't asking her to apologize. If she was the one to learn from her mistake and apologize, she would have done it right after she stepped into the prison.

Despite knowing the response, he gave a try, "Mom, if you accept your doing in the court, your punishment will be lowered significantly. Since no one is harmed, considering your age, you will be freed soon."

Gianna's expression was ugly hearing her son asking her to plead guilty and go to prison for a year or two.

She gritted her teeth and stood up without a word. She voluntarily followed the cops to enter the courtroom.

Liam pressed his forehead without understanding who to convince to back off. If Zane wasn't involved, he would have pleaded with Anya and Alvin to let go of his mother, promising to send her away from there.

Could he wish Anya and Alvin didn't have strong evidence?

He grimaced at his thought. If somebody had attempted to kidnap his baby daughter, would he have let go of that person?

Slapping the bench, he entered the courtroom. He saw there was no Alvin or Anya. Not even Rob or Max.

Are Alvin and Anya so confident in their legal team?

His eyes fell on the three men in suits. They looked confident and cold. And there was no less confidence on his parent's side either.

Whose side was he on? Was he supporting his brother? Or supporting his mother and her wicked actions?

If bringing the two parties together and pleading with them to stop all these could have worked, Liam would have done it instead of being in a position where he has to take a side.

When his eyes met with his mother's gaze, he silently sat down behind his father's lawyers.

If he was called for questioning, should he tell the truth about Gianna and Alvin? Or lie?

Liam was torn apart and the court session had begun.

Gianna was quick to notice Casper wasn't attending. What could she expect more from that man?

However, her face turned dark without seeing Alvin and Anya. If Alvin or Anya's presence is required, then the court dates will be pushed to send summons to them and she will be detained for more time.

Well, she could only grit her teeth, curse, and blame Anya Owen who knows about all these laws and rules better.
